Kim Williams Design and Enrica van der Linden Architects have been collaborating with 22 Cape Road Investments for the last four years to create a unique package for investors that combine JH Conradie’s financial, investment and development background with Kim Williams’s marketing, behavioural strategy and interior design background, and the well-known skills of architect Enrica van der Linden.
The concept focuses on first finding the opportunity and then it is Kim and Enrica’s job to design a unique concept that will attract the right target audience; 22 Cape Road Investment then put the full project together.
Cape Dahlia specifically was a special project given it was initially the personal home of the investor, and therefore close to the team’s heart. Development on 22 Cape Road had made substantial progress prior to lockdown with only the finishing to complete. However, with the combination of good positioning and product packaging the building sold out during lockdown.
Cape Dahlia is a road away from Bloubergstrand beach and the focus was to create a modern coastal look that appealed to a variety of buyers, from first time homeowners, investors and those scaling down and looking for a simpler lifestyle.

Opinion: Tech Can Boost Infrastructure Recovery

Office space: a view of the future
TO BUILD asked partners of a large South African architectural firm what their views were on the future of office space and whether the concept of dedicated office parks could survive in the next decade, especially in a post-pandemic world.
Country chic – stylish and sustainable
Our much loved South African country areas do not have to stand back for the city places when it comes to decor and refurbishment. Proof of this comes by way of an amazing refurbishment done at the Sanddrif holiday resort and working farm. Situated in the central Cederberg area of the Western Cape, the farm is a comfortable 4 hours’ drive from Cape Town, during which time you climb to 1 036 metres above sea level.
Unlawful occupation of property and the stay of eviction proceedings
Implications for property owners and developers: the unlawful occupation of property.
An architect's view
According to historians, New Year’s Day has been celebrated for over four millennia. But this time, we had to dig really deep to find the good that came from 2020. On the other hand, we could talk for hours about what went wrong. However, to have this conversation is senseless; because it is clear that nobody was left unaffected by the absolute devastation that 2020 brought to this planet. Like a tsunami, the COVID-19 virus hit every shore, on every continent, leaving nothing but destruction in its wake.
